SA, Namibia to discuss frequency spectrum interference
PRETORIA: Minister of Communications, Faith Muthambi, is to travel to Namibia on Wednesday to meet with her counterpart, the Minister of Information Communications and Technology Tjekero Tweya.
The two ministers will discuss mitigation strategies regarding the potential cross-border frequency spectrum interference following the 17 June 2015 deadline to move from analogue broadcasting to digital broadcasting.
The deadline had been set by the International Telecommunications Union at the Regional Radio Communication Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2006.
She will be accompanied by technical experts from SENTECH (Transmitter Network Management) and ICASA (Spectrum Management).
The department said the visit will be an opportunity for the frequencies geographical coordinates and output transmitter powers to be analysed to assess possible signal interference output.
Minister Muthambi has consulted her counterparts in Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique on the issue. She is expected to visit Zimbabwe soon.
The Minister will also be part of the SADC Communications, ICT and Postal Ministers meeting from 25 to 26 June 2015 in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
